'dpkg -c package.deb' is the command the original poster is looking for. The nice thing about .deb files is that they use standard UNIX formats - ar(1) and tar(1), so you can do something like: |butch| ar tv dpkg_1.4.0.19.deb rw-r--r-- 0/0 4 Jul 14 08:52 1997 debian-binary rw-r--r-- 0/0 4043 Jul 14 08:52 1997 control.tar.gz rw-r--r-- 0/0 464058 Jul 14 08:52 1997 data.tar.gz |butch| ar p dpkg_1.4.0.19.deb data.tar.gz | tar ztvf - | head drwxr-xr-x klee/klee 0 1997-07-14 08:50 ./ drwxr-xr-x klee/klee 0 1997-07-14 08:51 etc/ drwxr-xr-x klee/klee 0 1997-07-14 08:48 etc/dpkg/ drwxr-xr-x klee/klee 0 1997-07-14 08:51 etc/alternatives/ drwxr-xr-x klee/klee 0 1997-07-14 08:51 usr/ drwxr-xr-x klee/klee 0 1997-07-14 08:48 usr/doc/ drwxr-xr-x klee/klee 0 1997-07-14 08:51 usr/doc/dpkg/ -rw-r--r-- klee/klee 1810 1997-07-14 08:51 usr/doc/dpkg/copyright drwxr-xr-x klee/klee 0 1997-07-14 08:51 usr/doc/dpkg/packaging.html/ -rw-r--r-- klee/klee 5920 1997-07-14 08:51 usr/doc/dpkg/packaging.html/index.html |butch| Isn't UNIX lovely? :-) (The advantage? I was able to manipulate .deb files under SGI IRIX because of this fact) Cheers, --Amos --Amos Shapira | "Of course Australia was marked for 133 Shlomo Ben-Yosef st. | glory, for its people had been chosen Jerusalem 93 805 | by the finest judges in England."
